Windows Edge.

Please ask your question
I tried to integrate the Bitmovin in my player analytics. But it is throwing this following error.
Cannot set property load of # which has only a getter
at e.wrapPlayerLoad (bitmovinanalytics.min.js:11:90438)

In the documentation they mentioned that it is possible to add the Bitmovin analytics on Shaka player.
Is it only possible, If I use the Shaka player library alone without the Shaka UI?
Reference document from Bitmovin: https://developer.bitmovin.com/playback/docs/setup-analytics-web#:~:text=If%20you%20are%20using%20the%20Bitmovin%20Player%20the,the%20Player%20configuration%20by%20defining%20an%20analytics%20key.

FYI, I am using the Shaka player in my project along with the Shaka UI as well.
And I am getting the Shaka player object controls.getplayer(); method

It's a very good question, I think the problem is that the UI uses CastProxy, and it doesn't return a video and player object as such but rather it returns "copies". See: https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player/blob/main/lib/cast/cast_proxy.js#L136-L158

I think you'll have to ask Bitmovin directly.

We are planning to change our Cast integration anyway, see: #4214

@avelad, Thanks for the update!
We'll check with the Bitmovin team, meanwhile we'll keep an eye on the removing the Cast integration process as well.
Once the cast integration is changed, can we able to get the Shaka player object directly instead getting a read-only object?

Yes, you will get the object directly
